    the manglik sutra inenglish

    6 months ago 243

    Here is the commonly recited Manglik / Mangal Sutra in Jain tradition, in English letters and with a simple English meaning.

    Manglik (Chattāri Maṅgalaṃ) – Transliteration

    Chattāri maṅgalaṃ Arihantā maṅgalaṃ Siddhā maṅgalaṃ Sāhū maṅgalaṃ Kevalī‑pannatto dhammo maṅgalaṃ

    Simple English meaning

    • Chattāri maṅgalaṃ
    These four are auspicious.
    • Arihantā maṅgalaṃ
    The Arihants (omniscient, living Tirthankars) are auspicious.
    • Siddhā maṅgalaṃ
    The Siddhas (liberated, perfect souls) are auspicious.
    • Sāhū maṅgalaṃ
    The Sādhus/Sādhvīs (true monks and nuns) are auspicious.
    • Kevalī‑pannatto dhammo maṅgalaṃ
    The Dharma taught by the Kevalis (omniscient ones) is auspicious.

    In Jainism, this Manglik is recited to begin or end a good work, pratikraman, chaityavandan, etc., to invite mangal (auspiciousness, purity, and protection from sinful tendencies). Both Śvetāmbara and Digambara traditions accept the same basic meaning; only pronunciation and exact usage in rituals may vary slightly.
